Steve Martin Movies

By Steve Jones


Steve Martin is an American comedian that has graced the international movie screens with his great multi-award winning acting ability. He has been around for more than 30 years and has accumulated numerous awards from his films. His skills are not limited in the movie arena. He is also a producer, writer and a musician.

Before he got into the movie industry, he was a stand up comedian. It's pretty obvious that he is still is until now with the way he charismatically joke around the press during interviews. With Steve's almost natural ability to make people laugh, his movies are definitely something to look for if you're looking for some feel-good funny movies.

His first appearance was in a movie Disneyland Dream, way back in 1956. He played as a child who works at Disneyland and appeared at about 20 minutes into the movie. This movie had some fantastic snapshots of the old Southern California. The US National Filming Registry agreed that this movie shows some cultural and historical significance in the old Southern Carolina and therefore they've decided to have this movie preserved.

Steve's biggest hit came in 1977. In the movie The Absent-Minded Waiter, he played the role of a poor waiter who did nothing but annoy his customers. This movie was nominated into the Academy Awards and propelled Steve Martin's acting career to stardom.

Steve Martin's ability to portray a different character other than a comedian was tested in the 1989 in a movie entitled, Pennies from the Heaven. He had to learn some new things. He even had to learn tap dancing as his role had to have some dancing scenes. To the delight of his fans, he did perform really well. All his efforts paid off as the he won the Golder Glob Awards for Best Actor during that year.

Since then, he has been into numerous movies playing different roles and showcasing his fantastic acting ability.

It was just a year ago that one of his most popular movie, The Pink Panther 2, was released. He played a detective, a very clever and fashionable one, who teams up with other detectives around the world to bring in The Cat Burglar, the movies own rendition of a cat woman type of villain. This movie is definitely a great sequel to it's predecessor that was released way back in 2006.

It's Complicated, is another movie of Steve Martin in 2009. If you're wondering what this movie is all about, well, to sum it up, it's a romantic comedy story that revolves on the complicated relationships of the characters in the movie. The movie is all about Jane, a middle age woman who got separated from her husband. As the story goes, her husband is living with another woman but Jane is still having as affair with him. So now, she is "the other woman" in this very complicated relationship. Steve plays the guy who's in love with Jane, and finds out her affair with her ex-husband through a webcam. The title, It's Complicated, might have been literally meant by the director.

Another Disney movie is said to come out this 2010 and Steve's seems to be on this one as well. It's an animated movie, or so we heard, and Steve will do a voice over for a character. We must admit, he's becoming a regulary guy at Disney.

These are just some of the many Steve Martin Movies out there and for sure there are still some to come in the near future. If you're looking to spend that weekend watching movies, you might want to check out some of Steve's. Surely, there is nothing better that getting a good laugh after a weeks work.
